Deer with Fawn
For the last few weeks I had not seen many deer around Another World Bed and Breakfast. The Finger Lakes, Canandaigua and Naples typically have an abundance of white tailed deer. There is a herd of seven that usually hangs out around the inn. Then, this past week, I saw a deer feeding on the hillside in the back yard around 7 o'clock in the morning. She looked quite thin and was eating up a storm. Around 11 o'clock I looked out a window in the sun room and this same doe was grazing about 12 feet away. Then, out of the woods came a tiny fawn and it started to nurse. This doe obviously was eating for two. I moved to get the camera to capture this wonderful scene, but my motion scared them off and back into the woods. This moment, however fleeting, was certainly priceless.
